Hello and happy Holidays, thanks for all the great updates.

I have just tested inline editing and it works! though I have two thoughts on the feature.

  1. who has permissions to edit inline?
  2. As a precaution it would be helpful to have a “commit” button function that locks in any inline changes.
3

For the list views and using Tags, will there be the option for color “as defined in source”?

Calendar conditional colouring only works if one creates a new block, ie it hasn’t updated my existing Calendar blocks with the new feature. Before I start the process of manually recreating all my Calendar blocks using the “new” instance, is this something that will be resolved?

Does this mean conditional filters &/or global conditions will apply to the comments block?

Thank you Softr team for releasing this! Excited to dig into it.

I know that the Airtable API is limited to 100 records at a time. Is the data available for the query limited to the 100 records currently displayed in the block or all of the the records in the connected table? Also, is the data for the query limited to the fields that are displayed in the block?

Greetings @Erin_Softr. Thanks for the update. What other blocks does the new Airtable connection officially work with (ex. List, Grid, List Details,…, legacy blocks, etc.)?

@artur , never got a response from the poster here. Can you answer my question please?

Bring back support for Airtable views

Guess I’ll have to ask again. Do list blocks work with Airtable DSV2?

Just to clarify, according to Softr support, dynamic blocks connected to Airtable that were created before this release ~12.25, have to be replaced, reconfigured, and essentially “rebuilt” with new blocks if this ‘DSV2’ Airtable connection will be used. :confused:

Update from Softr support after they told me the above:

legacy blocks: if they are legacy blocks that are not in our app anymore, they will continue working the same way as before we introduced the Airtable DSV2 connection.

blocks added before we changed the Airtable connection to DSV2: if you have not added views to them, they will be automatically converted to the Airtable DSV2 connection. If you have views configured, as soon as you remove them, you will see that the block automatically converts to the new Airtable connection (and the views field will disappear).
